EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW: The Culling Comes To "Superboy" #9

[stephens2177]

Since when has he had a healing factor? Keep in mind I just got issue 8 and haven't read it yet. He's been hurt before.

he has healed quick from a blade in the gut,and his fight with Grunge,not to mention it was stated thay he had one by Harvest in issue 8 that you have.

and brett booth said SB "might" be getting a new supersuit in issue 11.[/B]crossovers always are nice,because you get to see characters interacting,but they are bad also cause it stops the momentum the book was having for it.

NOOOOOOOOO!!!, i like the Tron suit so much.

[stephens2177]

Where would he get such a suit? And where would he get the tech? It would just be dumb if he was allowed to have the same suit as everyone else. Krypton was destroyed remember, and the last suit belongs to Superman. Plus the last of Krypton tech belongs to Superman as well. And for everyone who wants Superboy to keep his distance from Superman and be his own guy but "oh I mean hey it's cool if he bums a super suit right?" No. The are making Superman and Supergirl's suits out to be something special to them (Superman as a last peace of his homeland and Supergirl an honor that she thinks that she isn't ready for)

It would cheapen the idea of them stating time and time again that they "wanted Superman's suit to mean something special this time around" he has no real stake or in story reason or right to have one. Nobody in the new 52 has as much a focus on the hero's actual suit than Superman, and that is intentional and should not be cheapened at all.

now if he gets a suit from Static after he takes a look at his powers or whatever that compress into the tattoo (for whatever reason) then I'd have no problem with that.

exactly like your last point about static and a suit that compresses,i was using the superman suit more as a idea of how it would work,not the exact origon of the suit.

really im thinking its gonna be sleeveless,but not regular clothes,just hoping NO cape,and fingerless gloves YES

*sigh of relief* ok then I'm with you for the most part lol. I just think it would be so disrespectful of him to have it just because.

And wouldn't your description of what you want be the exact thing he had on the 1st cover? Cuz I didn't really like that one at all. Or did you have something more in mind?

[Sacred Knight]

Oh the tron suit was gone the second the design started showing up on characters other than Superboy. Its officially become a Harvest/Ravager standard, so Superboy's going to be done with it sooner than later.

[stephens2177]

i dont mind the TT#1 cover outfit,its that i want it with supersuit texture,not t shirt and jeans texture.i mean there are craploads of hereos with no sleeve superhero suits on,why cant kon have the same.that way he looks differemt than kal,shows off the tat,and hopefully keeps the black with red S shield.

[stephens2177]

my perfect superboy suit is the same ive wanted for a couple years now,the titans of tomorrow superman/adult conner suit with NO sleeves and NO cape,add fingerless gloves and show off the tattoo,and bam you have a very superboy and superman family suit.

[Zoch]

It looks great can't wait fight between Superboy and Warblade ( which pretty smart take out leader first of ravagers) glad Lobdell back doing writing, I hope keep Tron S Suit I like its much better jeans and t-shirt look or whatever had on Teen Titans 1st cover I dont mind him getting a tattoo but why does he have to drop Tron S suit to show it off Ive been enjoying culling event one thing dont like is that all wearing Tron suits takes away uniques of Kon Tron S suit but looking at the solicitations in 11 stills has Tron S suit on cover So hopefully still keeps it after Culling.

[Warrior10]

Haven't really seen anything that would let me think that he could take her as easy as you think. If she had the time with her power that Superboy had and the two for fighting for real I sure you'd question the outcome more than you do now. Also her speed kills his as we saw in the issue and her senses kill his as well as we also saw in the issue.

But whatever, we saw a stalemate either way.

What would be the point of getting a tattoo of a something you don't understand.....*Superlad holds for a second and remembers that he has dumb friends that do that all the time..sigh..teens* he's not like other teens right? Really I don't think his durability is that good so I think it works for him to get it, but what about his healing? I really think it's gonna be done by something that can hurt him forever.

Then u didn''t see the book with him and Kara as SB gave Kara a good TK shock that really hurt her, go back and look.

[Warrior10]

I remember I was the first one on the Old DCboards to call out SBs suit a Tron suit, and now most ppl are useing that as a description for not only SBS suit but the other in the Culling Event cross-over in SB and Teen Titans.

[Warrior10]

NOOOOOOOOO!!!, i like the Tron suit so much.

I've gotten' quite attached to the SB Tron suit myself, but I liked the Teen Titans teaser of the picture to issue number1 of the DCnU Teen Titans outfit looked cool to.

[Warrior10]

Stepens u remember SB has total TK now and not just TTK, unless they took that away along with his Psionic Powers to. Anyways SB should still be able to take out that Razer guy because he can get in touch with the whole environment around him and he can even make the rocky ceiling fall on the the Razer guy or something else. He can use his TK and Psionics work on just about any1, if not any1.

[Superlad93]

Then u didn''t see the book with him and Kara as SB gave Kara a good TK shock that really hurt her, go back and look.

......Um I did see that issue (I even reference it in my post) But getting shocked and getting punched have two different look of pain. Take for example the Superman cartoon: In the cartoon Superman fights Livewire (an electric based foe) and Darksead a (physical based one) in the episode with Livewire she shocks Superman constantly and he looks to be in grate pain he even has to take up a rubber suit to fight her. Now look at Darksead: Superman fights him head on fist to fist but he doesn't seem to be in the same constant pain as he was when he fought Livewire.

But can we say that Livewire is more powerful than DARKSEAD......no we can't. All it is is constant pain vs blunt quick pain, energy vs physical. She still punched him into space but that's a quick hit to a constant stream of power going through you

Oh and my favorite part is that right after he hit her SHE WAS FINE she had not adverse effects she even had a conversation with him then she showed him how fast she was and how good her senses were by saving him from gun fire BEFORE he could even react then she left before he could even tell what happened.

But again like I said before this doesn't really matter.

Just read it. He has the healing factor due to Kryptonian genes. So he's in the same camp as Darken. Healing doesn't mean that he should have scars or blemishes. It's just like human healing but accelerated. It's like saying the tattoo is only an injury and nothing else. Healing factor doesn't necessarily mean regeneration. Wolverine has skewed the views of a healing factor thanks to the writers. Him fighting with his skull exposed is beyond ridiculous since he can feel pain.
